Red roses were her favorites, her name was also
Rose.And every year her husband sent them, tied
with pretty bows.The year he died, the roses were
delivered to her door.The card said, "Be my
Valentine," like all the years before.
Each year he sent her roses, and the note would
always say,"I love you even more this year, than
last year on this day.""My love for you will always
grow, with every passing year."She knew this was
the last time that the roses would appear.
She thought, he ordered roses in advance before
this day.Her loving husband did not know, that he
would pass away.He always liked to do things
early, way before the time.Then, if he got too busy,
everything would work out fine.
She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very
special vase.Then, sat the vase beside the portrait
of his smiling face.She would sit for hours, in her
husband's favorite chair.While staring at his
picture, and the roses sitting there.
A year went by, and it was hard to live without her
mate.With loneliness and solitude, that had
become her fate.Then, the very hour, as on
Valentines before,The doorbell rang, and there
were roses, sitting by her door.
She brought the roses in, and then just looked at
them in shock.Then, went to get the telephone, to
call the florist shop.The owner answered, and she
asked him, if he would explain,Why would
someone do this to her, causing her such pain?
"I know your husband passed away, more than a
year ago,"The owner said, "I knew you'd call, and
you would want to know.""The flowers you received
today, were paid for in advance.""Your husband
always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance."
"There is a standing order, that I have on file down
here,And he has paid, well in advance, you'll get
them every year.There also is another thing, that I
think you should know,He wrote a special little
card...he did this years ago."
"Then, should ever, I find out that he's no longer
here,That's the card...that should be sent, to you
the following year."She thanked him and hung up
the phone, her tears now flowing hard.Her fingers
shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card.
Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a
note.Then, as she stared in total silence, this is
what he wrote..."Hello my love, I know it's been a
year since I've been gone,I hope it hasn't been too
hard for you to overcome."
"I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very
real.For if it was the other way, I know how I would
feel.The love we shared made everything so
beautiful in life.I loved you more than words can
say, you were the perfect wife."
"You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my
every need.I know it's only been a year, but please
try not to grieve.I want you to be happy, even when
you shed your tears.That is why the roses will be
sent to you for years."
"When you get these roses, think of all the
happiness,That we had together, and how both of
us were blessed.I have always loved you and I
know I always will.But, my love, you must go on,
you have some living still."
"Please...try to find happiness, while living out your
days.I know it is not easy, but I hope you find
some ways.The roses will come every year, and
they will only stop,When your door's not answered,
when the florist stops to knock."
"He will come five times that day, in case you have
gone out.But after his last visit, he will know
without a doubt,To take the roses to the place,
where I've instructed him,And place the roses
where we are, together once again."
